SPECIAL RATES AREA
The SRA came into effect on the 1st July 2018 when a majority vote of property owners within a demarcated area of St Francis Bay (see map of below) voted to have a 25% levy added to their municipal property rates to fund desperately needed projects and services to reverse the deterioration of the beach and roads and combat rising crime within the town.
To best administer the SRA, a separate Non-Profit Company (NPC) has been registered with a Board of Directors who shall oversee and manage the projects that fall within the intended scope of the SRA. These projects are:-
- Roads
- Security (CCTV)
- Beach & Spit
Other Projects Other projects, services and events that require funding either in full or in part are administered by St Francis Property Owners Association with funds collected through membership fees and donations. These projects will be published from time to time when they occur.
